I bought these oversleeves for only 370 rubles. In this article I will tell you what quality oversleeves came to me, for what purpose they are needed and how to choose the right size.
Quality
When I took the sleeves in my hands, to be honest, I was delighted. I have been running for about 10 years and I know firsthand about oversleeves. I have seen and tried on many times in stores, at EXPO, various armbands of different brands, so I have an idea of what quality they should be. Therefore, I can safely say for that kind of money, I can say a penny, I got very cool sleeves.
The material is thin, elastic and pleasant to the body. There is a special mesh insert for better ventilation and moisture wicking. The seams are flat, even and neatly stitched, there are no protruding threads or snags. The advantages of flat seams are that they do not feel on the body and do not chafe. On the inside, in the upper part, there is a special rubberized insert that fixes the armbands so that they do not slip during the movement of the arms. The color matches the seller's picture, it is the same saturated bright color. And the sleeves themselves look very dignified and not cheap.
What are armbands for?
These sleeves are good for running when the weather is neither. For example, for me it is +5, +15 degrees, when starting a run with a short sleeve is cool, and with a long one - after 3 km of warming up it gets hot. It is also very convenient to use them in competitions. Usually it starts in the morning and most often, especially in spring and autumn, it is cool at this time, and then the sun comes out, and the jacket is not entirely relevant in this case. The good thing about oversleeves is that you can simply lower them on the wrist and it won't be hot, and the jacket on the way, most often has nowhere to put it.
Size selection
Considering that I have enough, with a thin hand I ordered the smallest size, XS. For my parameters: height 165, weight 51 kg. The XS fit perfectly. Hands do not squeeze, do not slip. The size matches the seller's table.
XS sleeve parameters: length 37 cm, top width - 20 cm, bottom - 13 cm.
My hand parameters: top 23 cm, bottom 14 cm.
I would recommend this size for those with a sleeve top no more than 23 cm.
In order to find out the size, measure your arm in the bicep area. During the measurement, the arm should be completely straightened and relaxed; there is no need to strain the arm. Also measure your wrist. After measurements, you can already look at the dimensional grid, what size is needed for your parameters.
Conclusion
Review of decent and high quality oversleeves at an affordable price. They are great for running in cool weather and will protect your hands from the sun. The sleeves are very lightweight and fit nicely to the body.
